She hath broke my heart for me ! Give me a perfect dream ; Find me a rare dim place ; Bat let not her Toice come nigh ; And keep om her face-her face ! Our State Contemporaries. Strictly Business. Marlboro Chronicle. Judge Witherspoon at the recent term of Court at Camden fined Mr. H. Baum ten dollars for keeping the Court waiting twenty-five minutes. This is certainly a step in the right direction. The cost to the counties on account of delays by lawyers, jurors and witnesses is enormous, and our Judges do not seem to realize it. This reminds us of a recent session of Court in North Caro? lina over which Judge Clark presided. Every juror and witness not at his post when called was fined from ten to one hundred dollars. Lawyers are also fined if they detain the Court, and we have beard that Judge Clark on one occasion actually ordered the clerk to enter up a fine of ten dollars against himself (the Judge) for being ten minutes late. This is strictly business, and if all of our Judges will fotlow this example of Judge Witherspoon, jurors and witness es would be found at their posts and hundreds of dollars would be saved the counties. Land Loan Companies. pee Dee Index. It may not be generally kn?wn that the Land Loan Companies doing busi? ness in South Carolina pay no county taxes whatever. Under the ruling of Comptroller General Stoney thes? com? panies are not required to make aoy return of their personal property except in the county where their general office is located. For instance, a company having its- headquarters in Columbia pays no taxes on personal property any? where except in Columbia, although it may have millions of dollars invested in the different counties of the State. In? surance companies, railroad and express companies and corporations of all other .kinds are required to list their property for taxation in every connty where they do business, and a search of the Gener? al Statutes fails to show any authority for the exemption of land loan compa? nies from tbe operations of tho general law. Section 196 provides that **all companies and corporations, whether organized under the laws of this State br not, the manner of listing whose per? sonal property is not otherwise specific? ally provided for by law, shall list for taxation all their personal and real pro? perty and effects at the same time, in j the same manner, and in the same lo- I calities,- as individuals are required to j list similar property and effects for taxa- ! lion." That is the law on the subject, for no other manner of listing personal property is anywhere specifically . pro T?d?d by law for these companies. The injustice of this ruling of the Comptrol? ler General's is apparent. - MB- - -? ?. tim - Captain Adrews and Fido. The Aged Sumter Pedestrian and His Faithful Dog Again on the Tramp, J&omsica+d Bovinely . * The Hartford; Conn . Courant, of September 16th has the following: Yesterday afternoon the Courant had the honor and pleasure of a call from Capt. Robert W. Andrews of South Carolina. Fido accompanied him. The Captain was 97 years old on the 4th of July this year. Fido will be 5 years old on his next birthday. They walked up from South Carolina early in the season, and now they are walking back again taking things comfortably, not hurrying themselves unduly, and see? ing the *:gbt3 as they go along. It is the Captaiu's seventh visit (on foot) to the North, and Fido's second. It is only justice to Fido to meotion that he has aiso accompanied his master on a Southern pedestrian tour which took him as far as Texas, a long journey for a small dog. The Captain's host of friends in Connecticut will be glad to hear that he is looking well and feeling well-his eyes as bright, his cheeks as ruddy, his laugh as cheery as ever. He bas enjoyed his Summer North very much, he says. Besides seeing his son in Boston, he has taken a ramble through Vermont and New Hampshire, and has revisited the village up in Maine where he learned the shipwright's trade in 1817-before he went to sea a sailoring and learned that trade. (Per? haps this is as good a place as any to ! say that the captain is also a practical j farmer and a horse doctor of seventy- j four years' standing, wirh army experi- j ence as a veterinary surgeon under his I good friend, General Wade Hampton.) j The mention of bis five years before the j mast reminded him of a story. When he got home from sea his own mother j didn't know him. and liked bis looks so | little that she was unwilling to harbor bim over night As he was turning i away she asked him where he lived j when he was at home. 4*I was raised about beah,?* he meekly rephed. At \ that his brother snouted, **U's Bob!" ? and the fatted calf was sacrificed in due j form. Unless unexpectedly detained j on the way. he and Fido will reich j Sooth Carolina about the 1st of Novem- j ber-perhaps sooner if he makes a con- \ template;! purchase of a hor^e and bug- ! gy fur the more convenient carrying of I his books, etc Once home; th?y will j take a month or six weeks' rest, and j theo start on a walk across the conti? nent to Sin Francisco. "I think now we shall come back around t!ie Horn," said the captain. Good luck go with them ! Ben Ti?man am himself again. It is a little remarkable that a Jersey bull should accomplish what tho combined body of South Carolina politicians fail? ed to do, viz : get the best of Ben. TheEdgefield Chronicle of the 7th instant, says : "Capt. B lt. Tillman was in town on Monday; looking as if be had oe vor had other thur, thc most pleasant relations with the bull. This j reminds us, that a certain official of our \ State Agricultural Department, high j op, when it was suggested to him, that be ought to pension the butt. 4*No!" said he, 4 I won't pension the bull, but ' I'd like to get Hold of the-nigger that got tbe bull off ?.f him."

Campaign Jn Vlrfflnla-Tht* Eurmy In Ambush -?. . Twenty IVAW Arter. r- SELMA, N. C., Feb. IT, 1887. Gentlemen:-Yours inquiring wheth? er or not I had been benefited by Kas? kine, and if so to what extent, &c., to hand- In reply will say that my health has net been as good in twenty years as now. I suffered with chills from malarial poison contracted while serv? ing in the Confederate army on the Peninsular Campaigns in Virginia. Did not miss having a chill at least once in twenty-one days, and more frequently once in seven days, for more than fif? teen years. In this condition I visited New York in November, 1SS5, on business. While there I stopped with Mr. E. D. Barker, of the University Publishing Company. I told Mr. Barker of my condition. He called my attention to your Kaskine and procured for me a bottle. After my return home I took the pellets as directed and found much relief afforded thereby. Of this change I wrote Mr. Barker, who sent two or three bottles during the past year. My health greatly improved. I increased in weight from 165 pounds to 200 pounds, my present weight. I believe the Kaskine did it. Quinine had fail? ed, as had other remedies usually ad? ministered in such cases. Now, unless in case of exposure to extra bad weather, I do not have chills, and my general health is quite good. I turned over half a bottle to a young lady friend a few weeks since. I learn from her mother that she was much benefited by it while it lasted. I trust you may be able to introduce Kaskine generally in this country, in which many suffer from diseases con? sequent upon malarial poison in the system. From my own experience I can emphasize its excellence for such diseases- If I can serve you call on me. "# I am very truly yours, \ y JOHN C. SCARBOROUGH. ! * Seven years ago I had an attack of bilious remittent fever, which ran into intermittent malarial. I tried all the known remedies, such as arsenic, mer? cury and quinine. The latter was ad? ministered to me in heavy and contin? ued doses. Malaria brought on ner? vous prostration and dyspepsia, from which I suffered everything. Last win? ter I heard of Kaskine and began us? ing it A few bottles of the wonderful drug cured me. Malaria and dyspep? sia disappeared, and as you have seen a June day brighter for the summer storm that had passed across the sky, so the cloud left my life and my health became steady and strong. j MRS. J. LAWSON, 1 141 Bergen St, Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Gideon Thompson, the oldest and one of the most respected citizens of Bridgeport Conn., says: "lam ninety years of age, and for the last three years have suffered from malaria and the effects of quinine poisoning. I recently began with Kaskine which broke up the malaria and increased my weight 22 pounds." Other letters of a similar character from prominent individuals, which stamp Kaskine as a remedy of undoubt? ed merit, will be sent on application. Price $1.00. or six bottles, $5.00. Sold by Druggists, or sent by mail on receipt of price. j The Kaskine Company, 54 Warren St., New York, and 35 Farringdon Road, London. ? President Lander's Calcula? tions. SOME LIQUIOR STATISTICS.
